Ahh… The summer of 1990. I just finished my junior year in high school. Damn. That was so long ago, and yet it wasn’t.

Sure the song is cheesy. But it was the end of the decade of excess, and the start of the end of the hair band era.

I love the bass line in this song: simple, well-measured, AND it leads. Totally effective.

I actually saw Poison in concert when they were touring for this album. And I’d probably go see them again if they ever happened to be around in Arkansas. Bret Michaels performed here twice a few years ago, and I caught one of the gigs. He can still perform. And it felt good to be all late 80s schmoozy.
